exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. A modular harness system for sexual aid devices, the modular harness system comprising:
a set of modular components configured to facilitate removable engagement of one or more sexual aid devices, wherein individual modular components in the set of modular components include one or more harness coupling elements configured to facilitate coupling with other individual modular components in the set of modular components, and/or one or more sexual aid coupling elements configured to facilitate the removable engagement of the one or more sexual aid devices, such that the set of modular components includes:
a first modular component, the first modular component including a first harness coupling element and a first sexual aid coupling element;
a second modular component, the second modular component including a second harness coupling element, and a second sexual aid coupling element;
a third modular component, the third modular component including a third harness coupling element, and a third sexual aid coupling element;
a fourth modular component, the fourth modular component including a fourth harness coupling element;
a fifth modular component, the fifth modular component including a fifth harness coupling element;
wherein the first modular component couples to the second modular component via the first harness coupling element;
wherein the second modular component couples to the third modular component via the second harness coupling element;
wherein the third modular component couples to the fourth modular component via the third harness coupling element; and
wherein the fifth modular component couples to the first modular component via the fifth harness coupling element; and
one or more securement elements configured to facilitate securement of the set of modular components in an as-used mode of the modular harness system on a portion of a user's body, such that the one or more securement elements include a first securement element that secures the fifth modular component to the fourth modular component in the as-used mode.
2. The modular harness system of claim 1 , wherein an individual modular component in the set of modular components includes:
a component body;
a first end;
a second end opposite the first end; and
wherein an individual sexual aid coupling element of the one or more sexual aid coupling elements is at the first end, and an individual harness coupling element of the one or more harness coupling elements is at the second end.
3. The modular harness system of claim 2 , wherein the component body is a strap.
4. The modular harness system of claim 3 , wherein individual sexual aid coupling elements of the one or more sexual aid coupling elements include individual rigid O-shaped rings.
5. The modular harness system of claim 4 , wherein the first sexual aid coupling element, the second sexual aid coupling element, and the third sexual aid coupling element are sized differently from one another to facilitate removable engagement with differently sized sexual aid devices of the one or more sexual aid devices.
6. The modular harness system of claim 5 , wherein different sizing of the first sexual aid coupling element, the second sexual aid coupling element, and the third sexual aid coupling element is based on different diameters of respective ones of the individual rigid O-shaped rings.
7. The modular harness system of claim 1 , wherein individual harness coupling elements of the one or more harness coupling elements include snap fit fasteners.
8. The modular harness system of claim 1 , wherein the first securement element is a buckle.
9. The modular harness system of claim 8 , wherein an end of the fifth modular component opposite the fifth harness coupling element includes a set of buckle holes.
10. The modular harness system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a set of auxiliary coupling elements, wherein an individual auxiliary coupling element in the set of auxiliary coupling elements is attached to an individual modular component in the set of modular components.

12. The modular harness system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a set of auxiliary coupling elements, wherein an individual auxiliary coupling element in the set of auxiliary coupling elements is attached to an individual modular component in the set of modular components, wherein the individual auxiliary coupling element is a rigid D-shaped ring.
13. A method of manufacture of a modular harness system for sexual aid devices, the method comprising:
forming a set of modular components configured to facilitate removable engagement of one or more sexual aid devices, individual modular components in the set of modular components including one or more harness coupling elements configured to facilitate coupling with other individual modular components in the set of modular components, and/or one or more sexual aid coupling elements configured to facilitate the removable engagement of the one or more sexual aid devices, the set of modular components including:
